IN RE: RATIFICATION OF 7 SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN COUNTIES , RESOLUTION REGARDING MAINTENANCE OF
SEPARATION OF COURT AND BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS POWERS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners •
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the wisdom of the concept of separation of powers has stood the test of time
and public acceptance, recognizing as it does that a system of checks and balances is essential
in a democratic society; and
WHEREAS we approach the Bi-Centennial of this concept at a time when it is under attack
by the courts of Michigan who assert that they have "Inherent Power" over the Executive and Legislative
branches of government; and
WHEREAS the people of the State of Michigan have constitutionally mandated that the function
and responsibility for providing county government services lies solely with County Boards of Commis-
sioners who are the elected representatives of the people; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Supreme Court In the case of Circuit Judge Mahinski - v - Livingston
County Board of Commissioners propounded the doctrine of the courts "Inherent Power" to appropriate
funds without the approval or involvement of the County Board of Commissioners; and
WHEREAS this decision has blurred if not destroyed the separation of power doctrine thus
ensuring that grave and far reaching personnel, financial and labor relations problems will besot
County Government to the detriment of the public taxpayer; and
WHEREAS the power to spend has until this decision been linked to the power to tax thus
ensuring public accountability of Elected Officials.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Counties of Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland,
St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne as follows:
1, That Legislation restoring to County Boards of Commissioners the authority to bargain
and negotiate with all county employees, including court personnel, be enacted by the State
Legislature forthwith,

Michigan at the earliest possible time to limit the authority of the courts to order Legislative
bodies to appropriate public funds under threat of imprisonment or other court sanctions.
